when I tried $ ls /proc
,I found a lot of directories(numbered - for PID and other subdirectories...)
as follows :
I am describing only some of the numbered subdirectories,and other subdirectories
$ ls /proc
129 1475 1899 2 21 2302 (PID's-correct me if i am wrong)
acpi ,asound, bus,driver, fs, ipmi ,irq , mounts , net ,scsi ,self,sys, sysvipc,tty(other subdirecories ),
and when I tried $ ls - l /proc
it displayed some ->
character in it :
$ ls -l /proc
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Sep 7 17:06 mounts -> self/mounts
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Sep 7 17:06 net -> self/net
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Sep 7 2014 self -> 4806
Here in Access Specifier
full access is there(lrwxrwxrwx)
,my question is:
what does l
specify here in lrwxrwxrwx
what does these ->
character means? like in(mounts -> self/mounts , net -> self/net,self -> 4806 etc.
